The Federal Communications Commission voted unanimously Friday to ban telecommunications companies from using FCC funds to buy equipment from Chinese manufacturers Huawei and ZTE. The move comes as telecom firms are ramping up their efforts to build 5G networks.

Both companies are subject to Chinese laws obligating them to cooperate with any request from the countrys intelligence services.”]
